Review: Ni No Kuni Wrath of the White Witch (This Is My Joystick)

Ni No Kuni’s hero, Oliver, begins the game living gleefully in the quaint little town of Motor Ville. He’s a remarkably happy child, blessed with a caring mother and friendly neighbours who look out for him almost as much as she does; he almost has the perfect life. Like all little boys, though, he has a mischievous side that occasionally manifests, especially when in the presence of his best friend, in his case, the car-obsessed Phil. Unfortunately, that mischievous side is going to cost him dearly, when a secret, late-night excursion goes horribly awry.
